The United Nations climate summit, electric police cars and eco-friendly buses are all set to benefit from £13 million of green energy projects in Glasgow.
The investment, by ScottishPower Energy Networks (SPEN), will go towards three significant distribution network upgrades, to be carried out across the city over the next 18 months.
The work will help prepare the grid for a massive increase in demand for electricity as the decarbonisation of heat and transport gathers pace.
Upgrades worth £1m will also be carried out at 16 other substations in and around the city to support decarbonisation of the 3,500 marked and unmarked vehicles in Police Scotland’s fleet.
